Dakota Grabowski: Yeah, if there was to be a character that a player could control, how would you go about creating an interesting story?
Mark Darrah: I think one thing with the darkspawn is that they are elemental.
Dakota Grabowski: Are they truly evil?
Mark Darrah: They are more elemental with no intelligence within themselves. An arch-demon brings them in and collects them. It's more of a hive-mind type of thinking. So if you were to do an origin story for the darkspawn, you would have him break away from the arch-demon and the hive-mind to explore free will. They aren't irretrievably evil. They are more a force of nature. They are a force of destruction and would create a unique situation that could be explored.
